For those seeking a newer home but without the wait comes the beautiful Silverwood, a stunning contemporary country home with arts and crafts influences, that is only eight years young. This ample, highly efficient and smart home has an open floor plan with wonderfully high ceilings, flooded with natural light, and has windows galore through which to enjoy the breathtaking Catskills vistas. The main level consists of two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and an airy open concept floor plan with a massive eat in gourmet chef's kitchen and a great room style living room, off of which you will find a generous wrap around deck with sensational views and plenty of room to enjoy al fresco dining and relaxing. Upstairs you will find the jumbo primary bedroom along with another full bathroom and a large balcony area for a home office or any other number of other uses. Heading into the full walk-out basement, you will find surprise after surprise including another bedroom, half bath, a giant living area, a rock climbing wall, and tons of storage space. With its own separate entrance and a driveway leading up to it, the downstairs space has limitless potential. Outside you will find a quiet and pretty yard with its graceful levels of meadow that back the forest, well-landscaped with gorgeous maples, oaks, sycamores, beeches and more, helping to create a lovely canopy against the mountain views you will enjoy in all four seasons. There is plenty of room for a garden, hot tub, swing set, and more. Chichester is a much loved hamlet that is well positioned in the heart of the Catskill Park, just three miles from everyone's favorite small town of Phoenicia with its vibrant and charming small town flavor and iconic Diner, and just eleven miles from Hunter Mountain. The position on a town maintained road feels private but not overly secluded, and with NYC-owned Forever Wild land backing the property, privacy for years to come is ensured. The close-by Stony Clove Creek provides fishing and swimming opportunities and a glorious soundtrack. The house has had an illustrious track record as both a vacation rental and a beloved gathering place of loved ones. With no shortage of spots for home office space, plus excellent high speed cable internet readily available, and bus service to NYC close by, Silverwood's work-from-home potential is fierce. For those looking for something very turn key, the furniture, purchased only three years ago, is available.
